Hi all,
up for sale is my 14" F10 Meade LX200R, its the flatter field RC design, not the SCT or the later ACF, for $5,200.
I have included some images taken through it with the Optec F7 reducer and ST10XE CCD camera in here too.
As you can see in the astropics attached, the optics are excellent in this scope, no marks on the front corrector or the main mirror.
It comes with:
- Meade 2" Star Diagonal which screws directly onto the threaded back plate, and comes with the 2" adaptor for insertion into 2" fittings
- Meade Microfocusser,
- Mirror Lock,
- AstroZap flexible Dew Cap,
- 8x50 Finderscope
- Dovetail mounting plate bottom - connects to the Losmandy G11 mount.
- Optec Nextgen 0.7X focal reducer (focal length reduced from 3550mm to 2485mm)
- Aluminium accessory top mounting plate on Far-Point stands.
I have the original cardboard boxes for packing it.
Sorry, does not include the G11 mount, nor the two refractors visible in the pic.
This scope was used to discover 3 of my 4 supernovae since November 2011. Apart from one trip to Leyburn and another to Queensland Astrofest once, it has always been housed in my observatory at Windaroo.
The images of M20 (6 minutes of Ha only) and M42 were taken with the Ha, Si, and O3 narrow-band filters.
All this would be over $9,600 new.
